Progress report on the Wild Atlantean Adventure
Stage 1 complete:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kinzel has arrived in Atlanta (the Amtrak Crescent got in a a little early, in fact), had had a good night's rest on the train, and has been delivered to the rental truck place. Truck has been inspected, paperwork is done, and I
think I saw him pulling out behind me as I left to head to my office shortly after 11.
We stopped off at my place to kill an hour or so before the truck rental opened, and Steve met the cats. Agatha allowed a head scritch or two before retreating to safer areas of the house. Fish was friendly, but you know, it really was time for the morning nap so he didn't stick around long. Fred hovered. Here was a new human who did interesting things like purr at her. He wielded cat brushes with ease and could be found at carpet level trying to be non-threatening. Nonetheless, she kept mostly at arm's length + 6 inches for quite a while before she broke down and made a few rubs at his ankles. As we were trying to leave, she was doing the brush flop--she picks a location close to your feet and flops on her side, which is your clue to grab a brush, kneel, and brush away. She learned this from Agatha-cat....
